>Teng Biao, a New Jersey-based Chinese lawyer and human-rights activist, called the protest an act of “extreme bravery.” 

Today, in news that are definitely 100% true.

Gotta love an article with no sources, no named author, that asks a person in New Jersey for comment about something that supposedly happened in mainland China and ends in "(Bloomberg)" (which I assume is the actual "source" of this "news").

The article showed the actual picture. Unless you're suggesting the whole thing was staged somewhere outside of China (the location match images I found on google map), there's no reason to be cynical.

Wow, that's... quite a bunch of deleted, super aggressive comments that are all shilling extra hard for the CCP.
They must be going for employee of the month or something.
Looks exhausting.

I'm not even on the China hate train like a lot of people - and heck, I'd even agree that there are a lot of claims made about China that are just bullshit that people believe out of blind spite.

But this? This fervent defense of everything that country does, no matter how fucking awful? I hope he is getting something out of it...

> "We want food, not PCR tests. We want freedom, not lockdowns and controls. We want respect, not lies,” one banner said. It also called for elections instead of having a “lingxiu,” a title meaning “leader” that was previously reserved for Mao Zedong but has recently also been associated with Xi. The second banner called for a boycott of schools and strikes.

The second banner called Xi Jinping a dictator and a traitor.

Oh right, of course. That was tragic and I can imagine how hard it is for them to make their voices heard. But still it is cool that someone had the courage to do it again

The Zero Covid strategy may turn out to be a very notable point in history.

So far, pretty much all of my Chinese friends and acquaintances are upset in some way about the strategy, not to mention the further implications this already has.

...they censored 'Tiananmen Square,' and now they've censored 'Beijing.' What are they going to do when protests hit every city? Just start renaming them or something??

(And at what point do you start to think, 'gee, maybe the protestors have a point or two?')

A little wordy for a slogan but I'm sure they can do better with practice.

There are news stories about this on every reputable source of journalism from Bloomberg to Al Jazeera.

On my way home from work today I was listening to NPR and their reporter based in Shanghai said that there was a point in the day when she searched Beijing on Weibo there were only 900 results from all time.
